Adopting and Adapting « Ashley’s Weblog
After reading a comment by David Truss on my post titled “My Philosophy of Technology in the Classroom”, I wanted to reflect on some of the questions he gave for me to think about. David suggested I read an article Adopt and Adapt: Shaping Tech for the Classroom. This article was really interesting in that it talks about not only including technology in the classroom, but pushing technology to reach its full potential for our students.

If the learning outcome stays unchanged from the learning that occurred without the tech tool, then the “new” technology merely is a glorified (and usually more expensive) version of the traditional one used in the past.

Shifting Frustrations | Reflections of the TZSTeacher
as David Truss suggests in his post, Shifting Education, ”Nurture your colleagues like you nurture your students in your class.” I can nurture through examples–because I KNOW the teachers will look at the wiki. I KNOW they will monitor what the kids are doing and perhaps get some ideas for their own classrooms! And, I also know they will see their kids being more self-directed than they see in their classrooms, because they are not allowed to direct their own learning there.

The sub experience was a disaster. In trying to be helpful and do school as she knows it, she changed my lesson plans substantially to the point my kids began wiki-mailing me the second day from their iPods, complaining. They were not allowed to work collaboratively, the online activities were changed to worksheets, and they had no time to do the higher level thinking pieces I had left in my plans–so they spent three days doing worksheets on skills where they needed only some review.

Edublogs Awards Nominations | Mr. Jackson's Blogosphere
Best individual blog
Dave Truss’ Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts – I am a big fan of Dave Truss’, and not only because he encouraged my school’s English department to start blogging, and offered this blog its first encouraging comments. But because he writes fantastic pieces like his Remembrance Day Two Wolves post that is based in the philosophy of moral conduct and yet told through a tale of modern travel and warfare, framed in age-old mythology.

My Edublog Awards Nominations | Re-Siever
Best teacher (leader) blog: http://pairadimes.davidtruss.com/I am actually cheating on this one because David Truss is technically an administrator, but he is always a teacher. I think it is time the Edublog Awards recognize the influence of blogging administrators. David has always been an educator who reflects on his practice. The whole community benefits from his thinking out loud, as well as his encouragement.
Teachers Should Continue Blogging. Twitter is not Enough « Online Sapiens
Twitter is not enough. I recommend to all my teacher friends to start or continue blogging:
Kent ISD 23 Things: Thing 2 - Create a blog to use during the project
My "Why Blog" video that I made for Sue Waters.
Can this Video get Teachers Started? | Future of Education
Interesting comment discussion about my Brave New World Wide Web Video
Overheard at Building Learning Communities 2008
I teach, therefore I blog.

Hans Christian Ruud: "Alle" er på Facebook, men hvor er læreren?
Norwegian post:
"I think these are exciting ideas, but I do not know if I completely agree that teachers should be friends with their students on Facebook. I think that it is important that young people have a place where the teacher does not "monitor"..."
Getting My Head Around Mobile Learning | Clarify Me
David, your post has definitely got me thinking and now I’m getting quite excited! For quite a while now I’ve been reading about classes where teachers have gotten students to use their cell phones to search the web, text, etc and I’ve always wondered about the cost to students. If they already have the portable devices to connect to the internet though and the schools can provide them free access then let’s get going!
edutwist.com - teaching and technology » More show and tell: Dave Truss rocks!
His message may seem radical to some teachers who are resistant to new technology such as handhelds and cellphones, but his approach is so provocative and convincing that I can’t imagine audiences refusing to entertain his ideas, at least long enough to peek into the possibilities while going along for the ride.
The Innovative Educator: The PODs Are Coming!
It addresses the question, “Are we ready to utilize these amazing tools that students want to bring to our classrooms.” If not, why not? What do we need to do to be ready? What needs to change? How do we maximize what we can do now? Who makes this happen?

Teaching Girls and Web 2.0 « Keys and Lanterns…
The video, A Brave New World Wide Web looks at the benefits, more like the imperative of using the web in teaching. It outlines how the making of connections, such an important part of learning and critical thinking, is so perfectly facilitated by the use of web technology in the classroom and makes the case for the classroom becoming a digital entity without borders.
Are the PODs Coming to your School? « Kim’s Ventures in Educational Technology
Most school districts ban students and faculty from bringing personal equipment onto campuses to use on the district network servers. This is a huge stray from the norm and poses many new challenges while opening the door to great possibilities for instructional tools with students as mentioned in the presentation by David Truss.
